Madeleine McCann: The Scenic 17, Dr Denny Says And DNA
MADDY WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY EXPRESS page 21: “New DNA tests could unlock the mystery of lost Madeleine”
More DNA tests at the Forensic Science Service laboratory in Birmingham And this after the DNA tests proved inconclusive…
“Seventeen human cells could provide a major breakthrough in the Madeleine McCann mystery…The DNA samples are being examined by scientists in Britain and Portuguese detectives believe the evidence could unlock an investigation which is now in its eighth month”
The Tapas 7. The Tapas 9. The Scenic 17…
Guilhermino Encarnacao, head of the Policia Judiciaria in the Algarve, says: “We have asked the laboratory to carry out more tests and exhaust every possibility of obtaining conclusive results”
Says Forensic scientist Dr Ronald Denny (not working on the case): “A cell is negligible – you can just about see it under a microscope. It’s a sample someone would leave behind with the touch of a finger. But when placed with certain biochemicals a small amount of DNA grows to a size that can be analysed”
“GP Kate and heart consultant Gerry” are “both 39”
THE SUN page 15: “Only 17 cells of DNA in hol car”
“Cops looking for Madeleine McCann are banking on ‘a smidgen’ of DNA evidence. Scientists have found just 17 cells on samples taken from a hire car rented by Kate and Gerry McCann and their holiday flat”
Says independent forensic expert Dr Ronald Denny: “It is not a hopeless task. If they have 17 cells then they can carry it off very effectively in Birmingham, one of the leading labs in the world”
DAILY MAIL page 5: “Mission Impossible – Forensic evidence too poor to solve mystery of Madeleine, say police”
But Dr Denny is telling two papers otherwise…
A source tells Portuguese newspaper 24 Horas: “It is highly unlikely they will find a DNA connection…If everybody refuses to make statements, which is perfectly possible, we will be left with our hands tied. This is a case which could hang by a thread for years and we may never be able to prove what actually happened to that child”
But what about Dr Denny. Why don’t they ask Dr Denny?
Says Dr Denny: “A person, or their possessions, have to be present for the cells to come off”
DAILY MIRROR page 7: “Maddy: Smidgen of DNA will work?”
Dr Denny is on the case, or not. But the “independent British expert” does have an opinion which is able to share with all of us
DAILY STAR page 9: “MADDIE: IT’S ALL DOWN TO 17 CELLS”
Dr Denny is talking to Star readers…
“Top cop in blast at private eyes” – Former deputy chief constable of Manchester Police John Stalker says of Metodo 3: “I’m not impressed with these people at all. I’d be very surprised if they get anywhere”
This is the same Stalker who delivered “MY VERDICT” to Express reader back in October
“There’s a world of difference in following a paper chase and finding a flesh-and-blood child”
Or a newspaper chase…
DAILY TELEGRAPH page 11: “Madeleine tests are ‘mission impossible’”
Says a source in 24 Horas: “The samples reportedly include microscopic spots of blood from the Ocean Club apartment where Madeleine went missing and ‘bodily fluids’ and hair from the Renault Scenic hired by the McCanns 25 days after their daughter’s disappearance. The samples are so small that, while it will not be impossible to find a DNA link between the car, apartment and Madeleine, it’s highly unlikely The tests being carried out are extremely complex”
But Dr Denny says…
Says Clarence Mitchell: “Kate and Gerry’s friends have consistently said they are happy to be re-interviewed by police if necessary. Indeed, they are keen to help if it clears up any inconsistencies. They, like Gerry and Kate, have nothing to hide”
THE GUARDIAN and THE INDEPENDENT: “No Madeleine news today

Chenier, simple question off topic R*bo or not? And how about that kitchen wall?

Not sure what R*bo is…
And I am cheered by your enquiry about the kitchen wall; I’m very easy going about the noise my neighbours make, so I’m a bit teed off when they complain about me.

Thanks for the link, and one of the songs on Abbey Road is called “Carry that Weight.”

Yes I noticed on McCannorama that O’Brien does seem unusually tall - certainly he towered over Fiona Payne and Rachel Oldfield. I’d put him at well over 6 ft. But wouldn’t that make him rather unsuitable for any kind of surreptitious activity? He’d stick out like a sore thumb.
It’s so difficult working out exactly what happened on 3 May. There have been some posts about an accident at bathtime (say between 5.30 and 6), and the apparent coincidence with the church doors being locked at 10 pm. I guess if Person A put a body in, say, a tennis bag, and Person B picked up the bag by its handles and hotfooted it to a church, then as well as just looking like someone on their way from a tennis match Person B might also be free of the scent. That is, maybe you don’t get the scent on you unless you come into direct contact with the body, so in that scenario the body has to stay in the bag. All a bit unlikely though, I still say it’s possible that an unidentified (to date) person was involved - IMO this can’t be 100% ruled out.

Why would they even have had any baby sitting arrangements to cancel that night? Nonsense! They have never denied leaving the children asleep in the apartment every night while they ate by the poolside at the restaurant. GM said “5 or 6 nights” on Panorama. The waiter was reported in several papers as saying they did this every night and checked on the kids about every 20 minutes….every night. Why would they have changed the arrangements on 3rd May and suddenly arranged for a babysitter who was then cancelled??!!
The only possible exception was the first night when they were said to have taken the children with them to another restaurant in the complex which was a bit further away. The children were tired so after that, they booked the poolside table every night for the rest of their stay and left the children asleep.
Are you perhaps trying to give weight to your argument that Madeleine was already dead by 6.00pm? I think it’s important not to introduce irrelevant speculation. A comment on another forum!!! What possible credence can be given to such a comment?
I thought you wanted to bring a prosecution for neglect for the fact that they left their children in this way every night? Whence the sudden mention of cancelled babysitters?

False assumptions again,you cannot have a 100% match without either the living entity or the body,but dont take my word for it do a little research.

In the beginning I thought that the kids were alone ONLY that night of May 3 and found it strange … could have a meaning. Have been asking and checking, but couldn’t get information/confirmation. I think - if it is true - it’s vital information. Who knows more?
***********
The children were alone every night. The cancelled babysitter was in Portuguese newspapers (therefore maybe suspect) about four weeks ago. Check on the testimony of Silvia Baptiste.

i find it interesting that sky are running this at midnight when very few people are watching.
I remember the original reports of missin M on radio 4 - they stated that the MCs had been out with the twins and left M alone in the appartment - these reports disappeared pretty sharpish to be replaced with the version we have now
